Does anyone know approximately how much a replacement rim would cost? I made the mistake of letting my sister park my car on the street this afternoon and she managed to scrape one of them (maybe even a second one, i'll have to wait until its daylight again) all to hell.

I can't decide if it would be worth replacing it. I couldn't find any on ebay for an idea of the price.


Its the non-chrome version BTW.

it's over $400 from the dealer each. i have a set for sale for $400 with stock tires. i am waiting a current prospective buyer who is going to let me know by tomorrow, so i'll let you know as soon as i know. good luck hunting!

Sir Nuke

no they are not $400 EACH, which is what he ask...but they are higher than a kite on a windy day....they are about $250 EACH...the 17" Racing Hearts are about $280 Each.....you would be better off checking out the for sale section....searching Ebay....or salvage yards...

OR going out for a complete set of aftermarket wheels....of which you can get a complete set of really nice wheels in the neighborhood of $500 to $600.

this is where i got that price for an individual wheel. it's 409 each. pretty pricey.

Sir Nuke

someone was OBVIOUSLY trying to rip her off too.....I checked with a dealer.

I purchased a new chrome rim from the dealer and it was a little over $400.00. Not installed.

biggyshake

the wheels in question are the non-chromed ones BTW.
i would imagine the chrome ones are more expensive.

Sir Nuke

just for your information.....chrome wheels were not an option....POLISHED wheels, yes.....chromed ones...no.

dcotton

Thanks for the correction smartass. I am pretty sure everyone but you knew what I was talking about.

dzack02

noticed the same thing you are smartass about everything, Sir Queer

Sir Nuke

Just trying to keep the record straight....and NO I don't think EVERYONE knew what you were talking about.....I wasn't trying to be a smartass....just correcting you.....and ENSURING everyone knew what you were talking about.

Sir Nuke

I beg your pardon? I think YOU need to check your attitude at the door.

dzack02

which one hopefully the front door cause im not down with the backdoor.

Sir Nuke

there is no back door to the forum....only one way in...one way out.

you know its funny. sir nuke comes on here to help people. and all u guys can do is give him grief. i can tell by your low post counts that you obviously havent had much time on this forum or needed much help for anything. but anytime i have had a question here or on the other forum sir nuke has been more than helpful.
I have read this thread over and over and all i saw sir nuke doing was correcting something that was said wrong. there is a big difference between wheels that are polished and wheels that are chrome dipped. but i guess you would know that already.
so as edwin (the man) would put it you my friend are a fucktard.
Nuke dont worry about it. the people that actually use this forum for what its for appreciate you and all the other mods and all the time and effort u put it. -=)
